Mail merge for google

Mail merge for Google!

Mail merge is a powerful feature that allows you to automate the process of sending personalized emails or documents to a large number of recipients. While Google doesn't have a built-in mail merge feature, there are several workarounds and tools that can help you achieve similar results. Here are a few options:

Option 1: Google Sheets + Google Forms + Gmail

  1. Create a Google Sheet with the data you want to use for the mail merge.
  2. Create a Google Form with the same fields as your Google Sheet.
  3. Use the Google Forms API to connect your Google Form to your Google Sheet.
  4. Use a script in Google Apps Script to automate the process of sending personalized emails using Gmail.

Here's an example script:

function sendEmails() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  var form = FormApp.openForm("Your Form Name");
  var recipients = [];

  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    var row = data[i];
    var recipient = form.getRespondentEmail(row[0]);
    recipients.push(recipient);
  }

  var subject = "Your Email Subject";
  var body = "Hello {{name}},\n\nThis is a personalized email.\n\nBest regards,\nYour Name";

  for (var i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
    var recipient = recipients[i];
    var email = MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body.replace("{{name}}", data[i][1]));
  }
}

Option 2: Google Apps Script + Gmail

  1. Create a Google Apps Script project.
  2. Use the Gmail API to connect to your Gmail account.
  3. Use a script to automate the process of sending personalized emails.

Here's an example script:

function sendEmails() {
  var data = ["Recipient 1", "Recipient 2",...]; // Your data array
  var subject = "Your Email Subject";
  var body = "Hello {{name}},\n\nThis is a personalized email.\n\nBest regards,\nYour Name";

  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    var recipient = data[i];
    var email = MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body.replace("{{name}}", data[i]));
  }
}

Option 3: Third-party add-ons

There are several third-party add-ons available that offer mail merge functionality for Google Sheets, such as:

These add-ons often require a subscription or a one-time payment, but they can save you a lot of time and effort.
